Do you believe that?
It's a fact.
Well if you believe that; believe this:
THIS IS A HANDS ON SITE! It was not designed to "look good" (though some may say it helps; smile) What makes it good is your comments! Please make one or two or three, you have an opinion, so let's get the discussion of agreement going! Thanks, E

CAN YOU PASS THE "FAITH" TEST?
Can you pass the faith test?
Well, I guess so you're thinking; I never really thought about it! Exactly what do you mean? Is this a trick question?
Yes and No.
Smile.
Most people can pass the "Hope" test.
That is we all know how to hope for something.
However, most of us have trouble with waiting for what we can't see.
Think about these common expressions that are cute but anti-faith statements if you are speaking about something you are believing God for.
TWO GREAT ONES COME TO MIND:
1. I'm from Missouri; you have to show me.
2. I have no delayed gratification (Or in other words: I can't wait!)
#1 is like saying; I don't believe in what I can't see. What do you think about that?
#2 is like saying, it is impossible for me to trust anyone other than myself; so I'll make it happen now.
So the test for us all is WILL WE BELIEVE GOD that because He says we have what we ask for if we believe, can we act like we have it!
The world says we don't have it until we see it.
God says we have it at the exact time that we ask for it IF we believe it.
Do you believe God or the world?
THAT'S YOUR FAITH TEST!

Don't take YOUR faith for granted!
Hi! Most of us don't realize that we have to work on our faith every single day; but we do. Before I knew this; when an emergency came up I just said a quick 20 second prayer to God and walked around quiet and worried all day. The fact that I was walking around worrying; wasn't faith. I thought it was.
However, the bible says "If you believe that you receive WHEN you ask for it, then you shall have it." Most people either don't know it or believe it, because I meet people all day long every single day who are worried, obsessing about something or another.
In fact, some of them are praying people who for whatever reason forget this. Old habits are hard to break for some; but I choose NOT to worry about anything that I ask God for that is in His Word; because He said: The desire of the righteous (right standing) shall be granted!
So when you see me, you'll see a happy camper; never a sad sack! Not Ever! So I encourage you to not take your faith for granted but to read the Word of God and build yourself up in your faith. WORK ON IT DAILY! That way, when something happens to you or someone that you know, your faith, your believing what you can't see; will get you past the problem!
